Features: This book consists of 14 chapters, comprehensively introducing the basic knowledge of optical measuring instruments, electronic levels, electronic theodolites, and total stations, as well as the theories and methods of control surveying and topographic mapping. It covers the fundamental theories of measurement errors and their applications in engineering surveying, along with surveying techniques relevant to various civil engineering disciplines. To adapt to the development of modern technology, the book also provides detailed explanations of surveying and setting out for large and complex buildings, highway surveying, as well as Global Positioning System (GPS), remote sensing technology, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The appendix compiles engineering surveying exercises from the basic examination part of the Beijing tutorial materials for the first-level registered structural engineer examination. This book can serve as a textbook for surveying courses in civil engineering disciplines at higher technical colleges and universities, and can also be referenced by engineering surveying professionals and teachers.
